Access AIX NFS Share from Windows Server 2008
Hi all,
Hopefully this question hasn't been asked a thousand times. I am trying to connect a Windows Server to an exported NFS share which resides on an AIX box.
I think the directory is exported correctly from the AIX side but I can't verify that because I didn't do it myself. On the windows side, I can map a network drive to \\aixservername\nfssharename and it sees it, but I get "Access is denied" when I try to open it.
I assume this is because it's not recognizing the domain username on the Unix side but I don't know how to fix that. I have installed services for Unix on my 2008 server, which includes Unix Identity Management and Server for NIS. When I go to the properties of the administrator account in Active Directory there is a Unix Attributes tab which I have filled out but without success, I keep getting "Null GID - The selected group does not have a GID assigned. Assign a GID to the group first."
I must be missing something stupid. Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks!
